Reception
Nicholas Lezard, in The Guardian, said of the English translation: "there was a Lobster-shaped hole in world literature which has now been neatly filled by this remarkable work".[1] In The Daily Telegraph, Sam Leith put it in a list of 'Mad Stuff'.[2] Kirkus Reviews called it a "brief, bizarre, boiling broth of surrealism, romantic fatalism and slapstick",[3] and Publishers Weekly said it was "both tender and appalling".[4]
